Today's society has many of us broken down into classes. The politicians talked about saving the middle class during the presidential election. The poor wondered if anyone cared about the lower class.And the rich, who are in a class all by themselves, just want to hold on to what they have, although President Barack Obama says they need to do more.One class that received little attention is the "creative class."This emerging class is made up of those in the sciences, medicine, education, management, finance, the arts, high-end sales and other such fields. They have done well for themselves, according to a study put together by authors from the University of Toronto and the University of Maine.The authors conclude that while the U.S. economy is undergoing structural change: "This shift is characterized by high - and growing - unemployment in working-class occupations, whereas the relative position of creative workers improved in the years following the recession."

If schools are going to push kids in the direction of where the jobs are, I guess we can expect to see more students going into medicine or the sciences. There is already a push to get more young people involved in science, technology, engineering and math.
